Apple has sold 700 million iPhones to date

4.4
To say that the iPhone has been anything other than a game-changing product for Apple would be playing down the product's success. The device, which sells millions every time a new model is announced in the first weekend, is available around the world in a variety of different configurations.

At Apple's 'Spring Forward' event today in San Francisco, Tim Cook took to the stage and announced that the company has sold over 700 million iPhones since the device was announced several years ago. No matter how you put it, selling 700 million of anything is impressive, let alone a device that costs several hundred dollars on contract and even more, contract free.

Apple's iPhone has been a hero device for the company and opened the doors to consumers to try out other products like a Mac and an iPad. Because of this, the company has grown to be the most valuable corporation in the world in terms of market capitalization which now sits at around 740 billion dollars.

Apple has solidified that they will only release one new phone per year and until the fall rolls around, the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus will be the flagship phones for the company. Considering how well the device has been selling, the strategy is working well for the company.

The reason it's 700 million is because there are kids out there that buy every damn generation of iPhone released. Or I should say, beg their parents to buy it for them. There are adults that do it too, and it's ridiculous.

That's a huge number especially since there's 7 billion people in the world, huge achievement for the company I've always been a fan of IPhones just never been able to afford one.

Would have thought it would be more than that :/ Since over 7 Billion People (most people that buy iphones will purchase multiple iphones every time a new one is released)

700 million phones ahead of other phone company's, but yet 700 million behind phone company's when it comes to innovation.

Just because a product sells alot, does not make it a good product....


It kinda does... especially if a lot of these are repeat purchases

Tet I still believe all Iphones are bad.

Now now apple fanboys there's a reason.

>They used the same screens from 2001 Up until the Iphone6+ (If you think I'm lying, google it.)
>Screens are bad, crack easily.
>Not Native 1080p.
>Customization is heavily limited, even when jailbroken.
>Android is simply easier to use, with better animations, colours, and overall use.
>most Android phones have a 1080p screen atleast.


I have owned a iphone for a long time and have gone through my fair share of android. Personally I prefer the iphone but that does not mean the android is bad sense I fix phones saying the screens crack easily and are bad is really not a good reason sense it is the same type of thing with android. Customization is not at all heavily limited but yes android does have more freedom that iphones do. They are both good phones.
